tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate, TBPB
Recent Literature
The reaction of tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB) and ammonia/amines
provides the corresponding primary, secondary, and tertiary amides under
catalyst- and solvent-free conditions in excellent yields. TBPB is an efficient
and highly chemoselective benzoylating reagent for aliphatic amines in the
presence of aromatic amines and hydroxyl groups.

A mild protocol for the α-C-H cyanation of tertiary aliphatic, benzylic,
and aniline-type substrates and complex substrates tolerates a broad range of
fuctional groups, including various heterocycles and ketones, amides, olefins,
and alkynes. The presented catalyst system especially tolerates functional
groups that typically react with free radicals, suggesting an alternative
reaction pathway.

Visible-light irradiation mediates the synthesis alkynylsilanes in very good
yields from alkynes and silanes in the presence of CuCl as precatalyst. A large
scale flow reaction and late-stage functionalization of natural products show
the potential of the transformation.

An oxidative cascade cyclization strategy enables an unprecedented
construction of thiazole-2-thiones from enaminones via a cascade of C(sp2)-H/C(sp2)-H
bond sulfurations and C(sp3)-H bond thiocarbonylation. This
transformation allows for the efficient synthesis of thiazole-2-thiones with
broad tolerance in moderate to excellent yields from simple enaminones with
elemental sulfur.
